Seems, that her ftp-data connection seems to go out thru another uplink then the control connection. Most ftp-servers denies this (site-to-site) transfer mode. I don't know any available solution to this problem, except to route all ftp-traffic (data and control connection) thru a specific device. For this you need to select all ftp-packets (iptables) and route them thru one of your uplink devices (simple ip rule add fwmark ... stuff) For non-pasv ftp-transfer mode it's possible to implement a patch to the ftp-nat-helper module for selection proper (means the same) uplink device under respect of uplink device from control connection. But so far there is no patch i know about. -- Markus Schulz _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
